Oceanus - Ponto Picture

Oceanus was, for the ancient Greeks and Romans, to be the divine personification of the World Ocean, an enormous river encircling the world.He was a Protogonos, a god born at the dawn of creation, at the time in which the universe and the planet taking proper shape, Oceanus, was born from the union of Gaia and Uranus, and crossing to occupy a third space between their parents, as the vast body of water that surrounds the earth, and rest under the sky, reflecting its bluish coloration.

He quickly joined his equal, the goddess Tethys, which was the female incarnation of the rivers and seas of the world, with which tube a lot of descent, including Metis (first wife of Zeus and mother of Athena) , Amphitrite (Poseidon's wife and queen of the Sea), Dione (Lover of Zeus), Pleione (Mother of the Pleiades).

He is 80% water, 20% solid, which rectifies his condition as elemental deity of the sea, was represented both as a muscular man with robe, a man with sea serpent tail, and horns, I decided even by the first choice because I found most appropriate, considering that it represents nothing more than the sea.

I joined with Ponto, because they were basically the same deity, but worshiped in different periods, but symbolize the same, the sea.The same are in Tethys and Thalassa story, because in essence, both goddesses are the incarnation of the rivers and seas.
